“I want to tell you that I’m the new technical director of al-Fujairah SC, of the second division of United Arab Emirates. These are my new colors!”, he posted.

Maradona was coach of the Argentine national team from 2008 to 2010.

This will be his first formal position following his short stint at Al Wasl, where he was sacked from his job after an unsuccessful trophy-less season in which the club finished eighth in the UAE Pro League.

Less than two months later, in September 2012, he was appointed a Dubai Honorary Ambassador of Sports.
